Unusual one this 

Mate of mine who’s got no prior experience of guitar building/modding BUT has done some training as a cabinet maker and has a level of attention to detail that far exceeds mine was bored and casting around for a lockdown project. 
I asked him what he thought about having a go at scalloping a neck. 24 hrs later he came back to me to ask “straight scallop or Blackmore style ?” Which given he doesn’t even play goes to show quite how obsessively he’d already researched it !
I had a spare cheap neck kicking about so I gave it to him and he has done a cracking job of scalloping it, especially as it’s his first go, it’s a bit like $50 shoe shine on a $20 pair of shoes kind of thing.

So I reckon I should stick it on something and string it up, see what it’s like.
So does anyone have anything cheap with a Strat style neck pocket doesn’t have to be pretty, for choice I’d go hardtail but I get that down in the cheap seats a degree of flexibility is vital !

    I've got a black Strat style body. I can't remember what it is but it's complete, loaded with pickups and fully wired.  £30 posted if it's any good to you?

    Ooohh interesting offer. Seems almost churlish asking at this price point but solid wood or ply ?

    Hi Rob,
    I've got a couple of things that might suit, full mexican Blackie without neck, and a couple of ash strat bodies, various states, if they are any good.
    cheers

    Hi mate, thanks for posting, I’ve seen that Blackie body and it is really nice but definitely out of my league price wise, well, currently at least. I’m definitely more up the “pocket money picks’ end of the spectrum,

    Nice work on the scalloping - I've not spotted that approach before but it seems very sensible!
